Cross back into Canada through Coutts/Sweetgrass. It is a busier port and the Officers are more experienced and know how to use discretion. Avoid Carway and other tiny crossings.
You will save money on these bigger purchases. Even after you factor in GST, gas, and duty (if buying non-NA stuff).
If you get me some pricing and tell me the origin of some of this stuff, I will walk accross the hall to Customs and try to get you a more detailed estimate. I will also thank you in advance for bringing me some Copenhagen back!

I'm not sure what the info is on anything yet! I'm still trying to decide if it's worth it.
I am thinking that it would be chaeper to shop in the states and bring it back to canada.
It would be a sectional couch and a big screen tv, I don't really care about the brand as long as it's a good tv.
